The burnt forests are more 'noob friendly', and goblins have been dispersed more evenly and the occurances of Lizardfolk, Zombies, Forest Sprites, for example, have been removed.
More Goblins, Orcs, Giants and Trolls have been placed that respawn, and encounters are reduced. This affects in particular the west roads, roads to micidal, burnt forests, orc tunnels, troll caverns, flooded ruins, snowy plains areas, for now.
